They Tried to Destroy a Bible: It Started a Revival | Faith in Culture

In this episode of Faith in Culture, host Tré Goins-Phillips sits down with Dirk Smith, Vice President of Eastern European Mission and co-author of The Impossible Dream. Dirk shares powerful stories of smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, including a remarkable account of a Bible thrown from a train that sparked a hidden Christian community.

The conversation traces EEM’s origins, its mission to provide Scripture in heart languages, and how that work has expanded to 37 countries and 32 languages. Dirk explains how faith is spreading today amid war in Ukraine and Russia, refugee crises, and renewed persecution, as demand for God’s Word surges in times of suffering. Through stories of courage, sacrifice, and reconciliation—even between Ukrainians and Russians—the episode highlights how the gospel continues to transform lives where hope seems impossible.
